President Joe Biden hosted a reception today at the White House in honor of Greek Independence Day. During remarks delivered by the President at the reception, Biden began to instruct his teleprompter operator in the middle of his speech.
The President stopped in the middle of his sentence to instruct the teleprompter operator to ‘move all that back.’ Biden said,
I got into Wilmington… Please move all that back by the way… One of the things I learned early on.

Members of the audience could be seen holding their cell phones high in the air to record the President as he delivered these remarks at the White House this evening. Behind Biden were several Greek and American flags.

This event comes as President Biden’s Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated earlier this morning that his Administration is currently reviewing their position towards Israel in the Israel-Hamas conflict amid staunch backlash from their own Party over the Biden Administration’s support for the Nation of Israel.
Biden suffered a political blow in Michigan where over 100,000 voters in his own Party decided to vote for a ‘no candidate’ option rather than for the incumbent President. In a State as electorally crucial as Michigan, losing 100,000 Democrat votes in the 2024 Election could cost Biden his re-election campaign.
It remains to be seen whether or not the efforts by the Biden White House to abandon their support for Israel will, in the end, wind up quelling the dissent amongst the pro-Palestine elements of their Party. It may end up costing them support that they already had in search of support from a demographic that just can’t seem to get behind the Biden Administration.
It isn’t hard to see why, especially when these particular progressive voters tend to be young, while Biden is the oldest President the United States has ever had.
